And show thou art truly my friend,
Go watch, and to me with intelligence run,
When Johnson and Capell descend.
'For Johnson, with all his mistakes, I must love;
Ev'n love from the injured he gains;
But Capell a comrade for dulness will prove,
And him thou may'st take for thy pains.'"
Edward F. Rimbault.
